Texas Style Pinto Beans by Sergio Hernandez

Slightly spicy cumin, cilantro and jalapenos lend a Southwestern Tex/Mex flair to tender pinto beans in this recipe. I've added a ham hock and/or bacon for added flavor. Goes well with the spanish rice recipe I've posted.

Baked Beans by A.L. Wiebe

I found this recipe in an old recipe book from the 1940's when I was a young bride in the early 1970's. At the time, I thought, "wow this is ancient"! lol. Well, after my disastrous first meatloaf (came out the size of a hockey puck lol), I forged ahead and gave this a try. How brave, but I finally succeeded! This has never failed…

Italian Bean Patties by Polly

Great little change of pace from the usual fare. I love cooking like my grandma and mama did. Both were SO creative, coming up with dishes that were both delicious and economical, a feat many have let fall by the wayside today, with convenience foods the norm instead of the exception. It is quite a challenge to prepare a great meal…
